It was my guess that part of your absence invloved stressful D business, but more importantly, a distraction in the female form. Life is good if we let it.

Glad to see your resolve is strong to do just that. It is how your kids will know and remember you. They WILL come to remember what a flake their mom turned into, and like him or not, that XBIL-FHTB will never be their dad and will always be the person their mom broke up the M and home for. I hope she will always feel he was worth it, but I have become a believer here and I believe her day of reconning is ahead of her.

take care big daddy
